Please Hold Me, Lord. You are the Keeper of My Soul

Father, You are the Keeper of my soul — my provider, my protector, my sure place. You will not allow my foot to be moved; You who keep me will not slumber. You watch over me day and night — no weapon formed against me will ever prosper.

Thank You, Lord. It is in You that I live, and move, and have my being — You are a shield about me, You surround me with songs of deliverance as I call upon Your mighty Name.

On the outskirts of Bethlehem, a grass-covered field lays as an emerald gem against the backdrop of dusty, dry desert. It’s known as the Shepherd’s Field. Multiple shepherds bring their flocks to graze and lie down upon the tender grass.

Where is God When Circumstances are Difficult?

Dreaded feelings of captivity washed over me while I tossed and turned. I pulled the covers tighter as the nightmare consumed me — the imaginary chains yanking on my ankles, keeping me bound in dark and painful circumstances.

My circumstances were hard to understand. Difficult.
Confusing.
They seemed to have no end.

I Am Hidden in You, Jesus, in Your Secret Place

Lord, You are my shelter, my refuge, my strong tower above the enemy. You have hidden me in You, Jesus, for it is no longer I that live, but Christ that lives in me. When Father God looks on me, He sees You, Your righteousness … He sees me as His daughter who wears His robe of righteousness.

Because of You, Jesus.

Help me understand this. Help me understand Your covenant that makes You my God and makes me Your child. Forever.
